Deep in the GardenIP: 72.86.140.33Posted on January 6, 2018 at 08:21:05 PM by ageing ted

As I was scrolling through my iTunes library, I noticed something called 'Fifth Podcast' by Martin Newell. I don't know how long I've had it or how I obtained it but it turns out to be the 2011 vintage (but only recently published) Oddcast 16 'Deep In the Garden'. The first song is the wonderful 'Diese Nacht' sung by Eva Schwabe from, as Martin explains, a Francois Ribac opera about gardening to which the Guv contributed lyrics. Well, fast forward to 2017 and the opera shows up on Bandcamp with numerous Newell segments, although strangely no 'Diese Nacht'. But one need only visit the opera company's webpage (link below) to find the song as one of the two promoted highlights. Or simply listen to Oddcast 16! You'll hear Eva sing repeatedly 'Tief in dem Garten' which means of course 'Deep in the Garden'.
